    Hi

    I have our annual advertising ball to attend on the 15th of April, and have NO IDEA what to wear!

    I know that the outfit has to be mad men inspired but also blacktie and really formal because its in Kristal... Posh I know!

    Well I have a miniscule budget and need something quite wow!
    Big request I know but I suppose you guys are the best people to ask!

    Thanks guys!:D

    Either a very fitted dress that shows off all your curves, or a dress worn with a petticoat underneath would be perfect. There's great 50's style dresses here.

    As Faith said scene dead are probably your best bet also the most reasonable, You could also try Vivienne Holloway, Stop staring or modcloth!

    Love them sites! wow, never even heard of them!

    I like the pencil dresses.. not a fan of halter necks though.

    The prices look good on the scene dead site!

    you could check retro in georges st arcade, if you could go for authentic vintage in lucy's lounge in temple bar. actually there's a load of places round temple bar, sorry i can't think of the names, usually just wander into them. :)

    Have you tried tk maxx? I got a fab pale pink dress all black lace that gives me curves I never knew I had, less than €20 and very dressy. Of course, it being tk maxx, you're just as likely to leave empty handed but it's worth a look.
